Are there additional fees at the NVC, besides the USCIS Immigrant Fee?

The immigration process to the United States, especially in the EB-2 NIW category, involves several stages and strict compliance with immigration laws. Along this path, it is common to have questions regarding the fees that must be paid and to whom they apply, mainly concerning the work of the National Visa Center (NVC) and USCIS.

In summary, yes, besides the USCIS Immigrant Fee, there are additional fees related to the processing of your visa that may be charged by the NVC. For example, the NVC generally handles case processing after the initial approval by USCIS and before the interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy. During this phase, specific fees are charged, such as the visa processing fee (DS-260), which is paid when you submit your visa application form.

There may also be other charges associated with document review and any supplementary services required during the process. It is important to stay well informed by consulting official sources, such as the NVC and USCIS websites, since fees may be updated periodically.

Additionally, be cautious about service offers or marketing campaigns that promise ease in the process – following immigration laws and seeking information directly from reliable sources is essential to avoid scams. Remember that immigrating to the United States is a serious process. If you have questions or need more detailed guidance, it is crucial to seek specialized professionals and services in the immigration field, always paying attention to official channels and maintaining transparency in all steps of your process.
